Mental illness
Is anyone suffering from mental illness.from having this disease.
quite a few people in this Community have mentioned they struggle with mental health. I was depressed when I was first diagnosed with macular degeneration. How are you managing with your mental health? Wendy, Patient Leader. Not really that good.but I'm getting treatment .
I'm pleased to hear you're getting treatment and I hope that it helps you cope. Have you considered visiting a low vision centre to see if there are any more pieces of equipment, such as magnifiers or special lighting, to assist you? Wendy, Patient Leader.
I don't know where there is a low Vision center.
perhaps your doctor would be able to advise you on this. It depends what State you are in. Some of our Community members have received very useful help from low vision centres. Wendy, Patient Leader. 
my retinal specialist made a referral to a low vision clinic for me. You can google low vision clinics for your area. I found it informative to learn what was available to make life easier. Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader
